Stephen is an extraordinary instructor with passion and wisdom to share with his students. I was welcomed instantly by Stephen as if I were an old friend. I felt comfortable and confident as a "newbie" to hot yoga. Stephen encouraged each of us to utilize the class as our personalized class and to make modifications and adjustments as needed. I am blown away by how Stephen and the other educators/healers have created a supportive community. I am incredibly thankful to have found a home away from home. I highly recommend scheduling one of Stephens's yoga classes! A friend recommended Stephens's class to me and I am grateful.

I've been going to Grand Jete for several years now and I just LOVE it!! I love how they…read moreincorporate classical ballet techniques and exercises in every routine. The owners and instructors are wonderful people and they always greet you by name. They also have a variety of classes including Barre Fusion (which is a combo of barre and yoga), yoga, circuit barre (more cardio) and ballet class (only classical ballet moves). They often have groupon specials which is great! I really like browsing in the boutique which serves as the entryway for the studio. They have workout clothes and also locally made jewelry and hair ties. Water and snacks are also available for purchase. I highly recommend taking a class (first class is free) at Grand Jete and I am sure that you will get hooked like I did!

The instructor was upbeat and encouraging without being too in your face. The studio itself is adorable. They have a mini boutique in the front with workout clothes and sticky socks. I would recommend getting the sticky socks if you are going to be a regular. I was slipping all over the carpet during planks. They have cubbies in the actual studio to hold all your belongings. At $20 per class I do feel the price is tad high in comparison to other group exercise classes. They do seem to offer Groupons occasionally though! If you're into Barre this is a great option!

Barckground: When it comes to fitness, I've done it all....I've done the traditional gym route... free weights, and loooots of cardio. Heck, I've even been a personal trainer before. I've done the home workout thing... p90X, barre workouts, good stuff. I've even done CrossFit... loved it. Whereas I've enjoyed many aspects of all the aforementioned types of exercise, I've never done type of exercise that I like so well as I do Pilates, and more particularly Pilates at Studio G. Studio G specializes in classical Pilates in individual or small group setting. Genevieve, and her team have done a phenomenal job of creating a warm and welcoming vibe in the Studio where people of all fitness levels feel at home. I find it sad that one often encounters a snobby attitude towards out-of-shape people at gyms and fitness studios. Trust me, you will not encounter that type of attitude here. Positive vibes only!! If you're looking to get back in shape, like I was, or, if you're an exercise fiend and you'd like to take your workouts to the next level, I assure you, Studio G has you covered! Pilates is very scalable to practically all level of fitness. All of the instructors are highly skilled and each bring their own unique strengths and personalities to the workouts. I've been a regular of Genevieve and Ryan for quite some time and thoroughly enjoy my workouts with each of them. I highly recommend either of them!! I've also had a couple of workouts with Tish and recommend her as well. She knows her stuff!! Both of the Studio G facilities are amazing. I love the 29th Court S location for group exercise. It's such a beautiful space with tall ceilings and large mirrors. The main studio on Oxmoor Rd is a wonderful space too. There's a nice front room with a couch an ottomans to sit on while you wait for your lesson and 3 separate rooms with various types of Pilates equipment. There's also a dedicated room for active isolated stretching and myofascial release...another great offering from the Studio! As a client, I appreciate that all of the instructors are required to pass a very rigorous and lengthy training course before they can instruct at Studio G. The level of training really translates into great workouts for the client. The instructors are very adept at diagnosing how the client can improve their form etc for maximum benefit. You really get your money's worth. In addition to the initial training, the instructors often attend seminars to hone their expertise and expand their knowledge base. I also love the focus of the mind body connection in Pilates. It's easy to get caught up in the chaos of our fast paced lives. Pilates is a great way to disconnect from the stressful state so many of us live in, reconnect with our bodies, and renew our minds. Pilates requires intense concentration to properly execute the movements from our center (core) with control, precision, and flow, all while incorporating deep breathing to power and fuel the movement. To me, Pilates is in an exercise league of its own - An exercise program that focuses on mind, body and spirit, that's capable of meeting the beginner no matter where their starting point is, but also very capable of challenging even the fittest amount us. I couldn't more highly recommend Pilates at Studio G!

The studio I visited is conveniently located in Mountain Brook and there is ample parking on the street in front of the studio. There is some cute retail clothing located at the front of the studio, and it was very clean and maintained. The front desk was so incredibly friendly when I arrived at MPOWER, and the instructor I took, ET was so nice and helpful. This is your standard, full-body 50-minute megareformer class, but ET offered modifications throughout the class for those who needed them. You get a great workout, burn a ton of calories, and you'll be sore the next day! Best of all, your first class is free! Highly recommend this place for anyone in the Birmingham area.

Everyone went above and beyond expectations and really made my trip great. I was in Birmingham for just 2 days and had packed my climbing gear hoping to get a trip to a gym in. I called pretty late on a Saturday night to see if I could come in and check it out, and if I bought a day-pass, would I be able to come back Sunday morning. Without hesitation, the staff member told me to come on over. I got oriented and climbed a little bit around 9:30pm before they closed - just long enough to realize I TRULY HATE auto-belays. So, before I left for the night, the staff was nice enough to let me do a belay test and get my tag. I came back Sunday morning just as they opened and it was not trouble at all for my guest pass (from 12 hours ago) to be honored. I did a few more really stressful climbs on auto-belay before someone took pity on me and belayed me. After that, I did some bouldering, and I was pretty done but still had time to spare. So, I asked a guy who looked alone if he needed a belay partner and it turns out he'd only ever used the autos and was really excited to have someone to belay him. I had a great time, made a new friend, and definitely will be making a visit to High Point a standard part of my visits to Birmingham in the future. Also, what I didn't expect was how big the gym would be and how many different areas it had. From a small weight room to bouldering to a kids/beginners area, to top rope, to lead climbing, this gym really has something for everyone. Plus, TRULY - the friendliest and most accommodating staff I've encountered across a variety of gyms.
